U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. https://19january2017snapshot.epa.gov/climatechange/adaptation-overview.html ). AdaptationAdaptation involves “managing the unavoidable”; that is, reducing the adverse impacts on human well-being resulting from the changes in climate that do occur. Mitigation cannot reduce emissions that are already in the atmosphereAtmosphere, and the ability of mitigation to avoid further concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmospherAtmosphere is uncertain.
